Hi, funny that this came up now, exactly when I was trying to put to work the example that Ben Alex has done in this direction. Also for my project I will be needing this kind of Client Dispatcher, so I'm interested in helping develop it, as a future part of webwork or webwork-optional. Besides, it seems that this is something that is allready working quite well in WW1, at least I read a few comments from Rickard Oberg, that he uses it on his project. So it should be quite easy to put it into ww2. Probably it's just necessary some documentation + more elaborated examples that illustrate better.
